“... 1% of America funds almost 99% of the cost of political campaigns in America. Is it therefore any surprise that the government is responsive first to the needs of that 1%, and not to the 99%?" -Lawrence Lessig

Obama has raided more dispensaries than anyone. Obama might be the most actively anti-marijuana president ever.

I guess you and Obama agree on a lot of things.

How do you expect me to follow rules that are completely unclear and unevenly enforced?

That logic doesn't add up, Ignatius. So, because speeding tickets are issued less often on one road than another, it's okay to speed on that road?

You make lots of good points in your comments. I fail to see why it's necessary to pile on with the personal remarks. Like above. You made your point in the first paragraph. If it were a strong point, it should stand alone. For reasons unknown to me, you had to expand on it with an attack on the person you were quoting. Not a very bad attack, mind you, but an attack nonetheless. That's the stuff that gets comments removed, and while one might think you're strengthening your overall position, you risk coming off as petty by tossing that in there.

We do our best, but moderating over 100,000 commenters with our small team is a gargantuan task, especially when we've all got jobs to do, too. If you think we've missed a comment that warrants deletion, by all means flag it. Every abuse report is seen by human eyes and investigated.

I have no idea what a personal attack is according to your rules and enforcement.You allow obvious trolls to continually post irrelevant, blatant personal attacks and dumb generalizations. Then you block other posts that do not seem to be personal attacks under your rules. I can't figure it out.
